The four students from the 40th Campground narrowed their eyes upon seeing Lin Xun and Ning Meng, but they didn’t show a hint of fear.
They had an absolute numbers advantage since it was four against two.
However, they soon halted and their expressions turned serious. Someone was moving with incredible speed towards them from another direction.
Is it friend or foe?
Besides Lin Xun and Ning Meng, the four students from the 40th Campground were also anxiously waiting to see who was coming.
Soon, an elegant and ethereal figure resembling wispy clouds swiftly appeared like a gust of wind. It was Shi Yu!
However, before a smile formed on the faces of Lin Xun and Ning Meng, they noticed two people chasing after Shi Yu at full speed. The two had to be extraordinary if they could force Shi Yu to run away.
Lin Xun’s and Ning Meng’s hearts both sank.
On the contrary, the four people from the 40th Campground beamed when they saw the two people chasing Shi Yu. They were Gong Ming and Di Jun!
Gong Ming was an elite student who Instructor Savage Wolf had high hopes for. He looked ordinary but he was from the Gong Clan, the Never Falling Geezer Clan. Di Jun was a top expert who had proven himself with his strength and had an equally impressive background as Gong Ming.The appearance of Gong Ming and Di Jun meant that there were six people on the 40th Campground’s side, which was enough to suppress Lin Xun, Ning Meng and Shi Yu!
The situation was obvious and clear in Lin Xun’s eyes. He sensed danger and murderous intent. He quickly formulated a plan in his mind and asked, “Ning Meng, do you have the guts to stall four people by yourself?”
Ning Meng was taken aback at first but he then gritted his teeth and said, “Why not?”
“I’m going to help Shi Yu and do whatever I can to get rid of one of the opponents first. Only then will the situation turn in our favor.” Lin Xun’s jet-black eyes were surprisingly calm as he quickly came up with a plan. “This battle is no doubt going to be extremely difficult. Perhaps, we might have to fight with our lives, and the fiercest will survive to the end!”
“Hmph! I’ve already acquired enough nameplates. Even if I fail and have to leave the battlefield, I won’t be in danger of being eliminated from the Blood Kill Camp. I don’t mind playing with them!”
Ning Meng’s eyes glinted fiercely as he slammed his feet into the ground. His iron-tower-like body sprang up and the muscles all over his body were covered with bright, blinding bolts of lightning.
Boom!
As he swung his giant halberd, it was like a snake dancing wildly in the air. He exuded a domineering and heroic aura that seemed capable of swallowing mountains and rivers as he disdainfully scanned the surroundings.
Almost at the same time, Lin Xun tightened his grip around the Jade Ripple Blade and sped towards Shi Yu, leaving behind many blurred shadows in the air.
“Which one is tougher?” Lin Xun quickly asked.
“The ugliest looking one!”
Shi Yu pointed at Gong Ming, who was in the distance, and then with a slight movement, he was already charging towards Di Jun with a pair of bronze maces in his hands.
Shi Yu was very smart and bright. He had long seen Lin Xun and Ning Meng and the four students from the 40th Campground in the distance.
Their situation wasn’t particularly complicated, but it was still full of danger.
He immediately guessed what Lin Xun had in mind when he heard his arrangement, so he didn’t hesitate to leave Gong Ming to Lin Xun.
Gong Ming was indeed very strong and difficult to deal with. He was best at defense so although he might be able to suppress and defeat Lin Xun in a head-on fight, it would take him some time to succeed!
Based on that fact, if Shi Yu could get rid of Di Jun before Gong Ming defeated Lin Xun, the situation would move in their favor!
Die!
Ning Meng charged towards his four opponents.
Die!
Lin Xun charged towards Gong Ming.
Die!
Shi Yu charged towards Di Jun.
Although it was the first time the three fought together, they were very well coordinated. They would do everything they could to reverse their situation even at the greatest risk.
If Ning Meng was someone else, he wouldn’t have readily agreed to Lin Xun’s request and might even have thought that Lin Xun was digging a hole for him.
Similarly, if Lin Xun was someone else, he would have become suspicious to hear that Shi Yu wanted him to deal with Gong Ming.
If any of those situations happened, there wouldn’t be a need to fight because the opponents would have seized the opportunity to suppress them one by one.
Teamwork and communication were the key to success. Teamwork in battle not only required coordination but also trust in each other and the same determination and courage to fight!
In this regard, although Lin Xun, Ning Meng, and Shi Yu had never opened their hearts to each other, their actions were full of coordination, trust and courage!
This was because they shared the same thought—They were all students from the 39th Campground! Their pride and dignity wouldn’t allow any factors unfavorable to their situation!
Rumble—
A fierce battle broke out in the jungle. Trees crashed down, rocks shattered to dust and the ground split with many cracks.
Blazing aeth power repeatedly interweaved and clashed. It was a soul stirring scene.
Savage Wolf and Xiaoke were intently watching the battle. They knew that this was the battle that would decisively decide the outcome of the monthly assessment!
……
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Lin Xun fought against Gong Ming with a blade. His qi circulated around him and merged into one with him. He maintained a high degree of concentration as his blade constantly changed like an unpredictable stream of water. Sometimes it surged, sometimes it flowed endlessly, sometimes it roared down like pouring rain, and sometimes it murmured like a stream.
Even so, he still felt extremely terrifying oppression.
At first glance, Gong Ming looked very ordinary and had nothing special going for him. In addition, he only held a long iron club. His moves were neither fast nor slow and his techniques also seemed unremarkable.
But every time he launched his club, a force as terrifying as millions of thunder roared out. It created terrifying shock waves that made even Lin Xun’s mouth go numb and his blood and qi tumble ceaselessly around his body.
Similarly, his defense was impenetrable like an iron wall. Lin Xun couldn’t find the slightest weakness. Furthermore, he effortlessly dispelled Lin Xun’s attacks with a sweep of his club.
Lin Xun felt like he was facing an unshakable mountain. The mountain wouldn’t budge an inch regardless of how strong the wind blew or the amount of rain lashed down.
Gong Ming’s ancestral secret cultivation art, the Nine Nethers Guard Club, could be called one of the top defense arts in the world. Not only was it mysterious and unpredictable, but its power was also unbelievable.
It was indeed a headache to deal with someone like him since it was impossible to wound him. Lin Xun would only wear himself down as the battle progressed.
However, what Lin Xun was most afraid of was that Gong Ming not only had a terrifying defense but his attacks were also equally terrifying. Perhaps, in the eyes of people like Shi Yu, the most terrifying thing about Gong Ming was his defense. But for Lin Xun, Gong Ming’s attack power also shouldn’t be underestimated. It was only because his defense was too eye-catching that many people would easily overlook his attack power.
Boom!
The club suddenly swung down from above, causing Lin Xun’s body to sway and he almost stumbled back.
It can’t continue like this!
Suddenly, a fierce glint flashed in Lin Xun’s black eyes. He sped forward, ignoring the club rapidly slamming down at his head and swiftly lunged the Jade Ripple Blade forward, aiming straight for Gong Ming’s throat!
If Gong Ming didn’t evade, he could smash Lin Xun’s head with his club. But in the same way, Lin Xun’s blade would pierce his throat.
This was a situation where both sides would suffer damage.
Lin Xun had to go all out in the fight. He not only had to be ruthless to his opponent, but even more ruthless to himself!
Gong Ming scrunched his brows and his club changed direction. It suddenly rolled back and blocked Lin Xun’s blade. This undoubtedly proved that he didn't want to fight to the death with Lin Xun.
Lin Xun took the chance to continue fighting like his life was at risk.
The battle would turn in Lin Xun’s favor if Gong Ming failed to defend. At least, the attacks he would have to sustain would greatly lessen and he wouldn’t be suppressed for a short moment.
However, it was still extremely difficult for Lin Xun to defeat Gong Ming.
This was already the best situation that Lin Xun could hope for. Their situation would no doubt change as long as Shi Yu could get rid of Di Jun.
It was at that moment when Gong Ming changed his fighting style. He didn’t care about Lin Xun’s incoming attack and swung his club down.
Pu!
A clean cut split Gong Ming’s waist and blood wildly flowed out. But it was only a minor injury and was nothing serious.
Bang!
Almost at the same time, the club pounded Lin Xun on the shoulder. His body sank down and his shoulder bone almost snapped. A throbbing pain ran throughout his body.
It should be said that Lin Xun’s body had been tempered to the level of inner-outer perfection, which was comparable to the body of a True Martial eighth layer cultivator. His physique was extremely strong like he was constructed from fine steel.
Even so, he was almost crushed under the club. It was easy to imagine how terrifying Gong Ming’s club was.
Lin Xun suddenly gritted his teeth and halted his body that was about to fall to the ground. He abruptly bounced up, brought his blade up in a slash and charged towards Gong Ming again.
He could tell that Gong Ming had seen through his intention and was beginning to fight without caring about taking on any injuries. This was undoubtedly an extremely bad discovery for Lin Xun.
However, he couldn’t care too much. He had to stop Gong Ming no matter what, even if it meant that he had to pay an unimaginable price.
Lin Xun's tenacity evidently surprised Gong Ming. Ordinary seventh layer True Martial Stage cultivators would have been paralyzed long ago after receiving a blow from his club but Lin Xun still seemed perfectly fine.
This indicated that Lin Xun had practiced extremely strong body tempering arts.
Gong Ming and Lin Xun were locked in a fierce fight. As time passed, both sides became severely wounded and had tattered looking appearances.
Lin Xun’s skin was bruised, red and swollen. Every inch of his muscles and bones was throbbing with pain to the point that he felt like they were about to rupture or crumble.
Similarly, multiple blade wounds were left on Gong Ming’s body. He was dripping with blood but he hadn’t injured any vital parts of his body. Gong Ming’s expression hadn’t changed since the start of the battle.
They were both unimaginably exceptional. They didn’t utter a word and were fierce and unyielding like two calm but terrifying madmen.
The bloody and cruel scene was thrilling.
Suddenly, Ning Meng’s roar resounded in the distance, “I can’t hold on much longer. Little White Face, how much longer are you going to take? Aren’t you too weak?”
Lin Xun’s heart sank. Ning Meng can’t hold on much longer?
He didn’t need to turn his head to know that Ning Ming, who was under the attacks of four people, was no doubt more heavily injured than him.
What about Shi Yu?
How is his situation?
Almost at the same time, a whistle rang out from the battlefield, quickly followed by a loud boom. Di Jun’s figure propelled across the air as he coughed out blood. His face was deathly pale and his head was tilted to one side. He had lost consciousness.
Meanwhile, a ghastly hole had split the left of Shi Yu’s chest and blood was gushing out. As if the wound was minor, Shi Yu laughed, “How could a fool like you understand my strength?”
While laughing, he tightened his grip around the bronze maces and rushed towards Ning Meng.
